After two years of anticipation, Andrew Wommack welcomed Mayor Dave Turley, city officials and dozens of business leaders in a reception to introduce The Sanctuary, which includes Charis Bible College and a 2,500-seat auditorium in Phase II. A nonprofit organization, Andrew Wommack Ministries closed the school in Colorado Springs and built a new campus on part of the 157-acre plot purchased for $4 million from Eddie and Carol Sturman. The property includes the Littlestar Lodge. However, the organization with keep its offices in Colorado Springs. In an introduction, Wommack said that he and his wife Jamie have lived in Teller County for 30 years, first in Woodland Park and now Florissant. Focusing in on his audience, Wommack addressed the religious aspect as well as The 2,500-seat auditorium at The Sanctuary in Woodland Park is distinguished by the exposed timber beam trusses. the business side of the organization. With annual revenue of $40 million, in The building is part of Phase II of the building plans for Andrew Wommack Ministries.

A proposal by the Colorado Department of Transportation would establish the first bus route along the Front Range and the I-70 Mountain Corridor. “They have just announced a CDOT Interregional Express,” said Teller County commissioner Norm Steen at the commissioners’ meeting Dec. 12. “The initial phases will have buses running from Colorado Springs to Denver at Union Station. And then west to Glenwood Springs.” Eventually, the express may make a connection through local buses such as Ramblin’ Express in Teller County. “They’re trying to make the cost onehalf of what it costs to drive,” Steen said. “It costs about $9 to $12 to drive to Denver from the Springs one way.” The buses will be equipped with WiFi, flip-down tables and restrooms. The goal is to establish bus service along both corridors in late 2014. On another transportation issue, Steen reported that the completion date for the $95 million I-25/Cimarron interchange project had been moved up to July 1, 2017. “There are only two main accesses to Teller County, so this is very good news.” In breaking news, Sheryl Decker, county administrator, announced the recipients of the Limited Gaming Impact Fund, administered by the Department of Local Affairs. County recipients are: • 4th Judicial District Attorney’s office, $228,535 • Teller County Jail operations, $318,560 • Teller County patrol operations, $222,740 • Community of Caring, $198,250 • Court Appointed Special Advocate, $68,644 • Teller County Peak Vista Community Health Center, $57,506 • Prospect Home Care & Hospice, $60,000 • Teller County CASA advocate services, $5,379. “I’d like to thank Clay Brown (DOLA regional manager) and Sheryl Decker for working on the details that cropped up during the process,” said commission chair Dave Paul.

Indoor shooting range debuts By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com The only indoor shooting range in Teller County, CHP Colorado introduces non-toxic, non-lethal bullets to the area. Termed “simunition,” ammunition, the bullets allow people to fire away without danger of injury. “With people having problems getting ammunition we decided to go a different route,” said Miles De Young, who, with Ken and Romy Klinger, opened CHP in April at the Tamarac Business Center in Woodland Park. “This is our solution we’re able to get ammunition with no problem with this kind of bullet.” The three have 18 years of experience in teaching gun safety in Steamboat Springs. De Young and Ken Klinger have law-enforcement as well as military experience. The three have stepped into a ready market, as Teller County has more handguns registered than any other county in Colorado. The indoor shooting range is also one of only five in Colorado that offer training with simunition bullets. Students are eligible for concealedcarry permits after CHPs seven-hour class that includes a Power Point presentation, instruction on gun laws in Colorado and four hours of hands-on training. “Students shoot about 75 rounds of ammunition,” De Young said. Along with the training for concealedcarry permits, CHP Colorado offers specialty-training and reality-based scenarios such as entering a dark room with potential danger lurking. “I shut the lights off, take you in there, put a bad guy in there and see how it works out for you,” De Young said.

A Mother

David Selvadurai can vouch for the flashlight caper. “The dummy is behind a panel, and you go in a darkroom with a flashlight,” he said. “We learn how to move.” A California transplant, Selvadurai welcomed the chance to earn a concealedcarry permit in Colorado and applauds the hands-on training. The “sim rounds,” he said, are like rubber bullets. “You don’t need ear protection and you’re not afraid of hurting other students, or yourself,” he said. Beginning with how to hold a gun, then drawing, turning and pointing, the teachers take “baby steps” to share their expertise with weapons, he said. “I wanted to feel confident that I have the training and that I know the laws,” Selvadurai said. As instructors, De Young and Klinger focus on the positive. “They say ‘do this’ instead of ‘don’t do this,’” he said. Once he felt confident enough, Selvadurai brought his own weapon to the class. Nicole Woods wanted to be sure everybody in her family felt comfortable carrying a concealed weapon so she brought her mother, grandmother, stepfather and her aunt to the De Young’s class. “My mom is extremely scared of guns but Miles had her shooting her handgun by the end of class,” Woods said. Along with the target practice, De Young taught the family how to hold the gun, position the body and change the magazine, Woods added. “He made the class fun and didn’t embarrass us if we made a mistake.” Woods particularly enjoyed the in-thedark scenario. “We pretended like we were being attacked and learned how to squat on the ground and peek around the corner,” she said. “Miles is an amazing teach-

In one scene, the students won’t have

protective gear but will be armed. “You go into the range with another person who has protective gear and it’s a role-playing scenario,” De Young said. For information, call CHP Colorado at 357-1989.

WP Planning Commission sets 2014 priorities Work session takes on accessory dwelling units By Norma Engelberg Contributing writer

With its only case tabled to Jan. 9, on Dec. 12 the Woodland Park Planning Commission conducted a work session to set 2014 priorities and discuss “accessory dwelling units.” The city of Boulder, which has allowed accessory dwellings, sometimes called “motherin-law” apartments or cottages, since 1982, defines an accessory dwelling unit, in part, as “a separate and complete housekeeping unit within a single family detached dwelling unit.” This could be a converted basement or a small addition each with its own full kitchen. Accessory dwellings can also be detached from the primary dwelling but located on the same lot. City Planning Director Sally Riley a unit doesn’t have a “complete housekeeping unit,” what the city calls a “full kitchen,” unless it has a stovetop and oven. She explained that keeping a microwave oven, convection oven and/or hotplate on a countertop does not make the space a full kitchen even if it has many other kitchen amenities such as refrigerators and sinks. Some commissioners, including Tom Rollinger, feared that allowing accessory dwellings would risk property values and be difficult to enforce. Others, such as Paula Mattingly, said allowing

these units would be an opportunity. “We have to protect our singlefamily neighborhoods,” Commissioner Jon DeVaux said. “That’s what people have paid for. We don’t even know if there is a need for this.” Commissioner Geoff Watson added, “This just begs for regulation.” Riley said quite a few city residents have wanted to add a second full kitchen to their homes to create a separate space for an elderly family member, for example. City code doesn’t allow this, so there is a need, she said. She reminded commissioners that many of them supported the concept of accessory dwelling units during a joint commission/city council work session in September. City Councilmember John Schafer, the only councilmember attending the Dec. 12 work session, said zoning regulations have withstood the test of time and would continue to do so in the case of accessory dwelling units. Riley continued the discussion by going through an “Accessory Dwelling Units Draft Code” that included suggested ordinance language. Her department favors creating a streamlined code making it as easy as possible for people to meet requirements designed to keep changes to neighborhoods invisible. “The more hoops you make people jump through the less likely it is that they’ll tackle these projects,” Riley said. Restrictions commissioners favored include:

The Woodland Park Planning Commission isn’t quite ready to take on detached accessory dwelling units like this cottage and its main house in Old Colorado City but it is willing to discuss changes to the city code that would allow accessory dwellings inside existing homes, attached to a home or garage conversions to increase the available rental housing in the city. Photo by Norma Engelberg The homeowner must live in the home for five years before creating an accessory dwelling. The homeowner must occupy either the primary dwelling or the accessory unit. The accessory unit should be restricted in size. The number of unrelated tenants should be limited. An additional off-street parking space is required. The design and appearance of an accessory dwelling located within an addition or detached structure should match that of the primary dwelling. The ordinance should include a process for existing illegal ac-

cessory dwelling units to become legal or be removed. Commissioners asked for a phased-in program, “baby steps,” that might first allow accessory dwelling units inside a home or an addition and perhaps also allow the conversion of an existing attached or detached garage. Allowing accessory dwellings detached from the primary dwelling might be a future phase that could be tackled after collecting data on phase one. Taking her cue from the commissioners, Riley said her department would conduct more research and seek sample documents and forms from other

Maketa firm on lawsuit By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Undaunted by the dismissal by a federal judge of part of a lawsuit over guncontrol measures, 55 Colorado sheriffs are aiming for a trial as soon as February. “We are all still in in our personal capacity,” said El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa. Maketa was referring to Judge Marcia Krieger’s ruling that the sheriffs could not sue the state as officials. The sheriffs’ lawsuit claims that language in the bill limiting the number of ammunition rounds to 15 in a magazine was vague as it relates to the constitution. Krieger ruled that the attorney general’s office had sufficiently explained the issue of removable base plates. However, Krieger allowed the grandfathering in of magazines that hold more than 15 rounds, if they were owned before the law went into effect in January.

Colorado cities and counties that allow accessory dwellings. Then, after consulting City Attorney Erin Smith, she plans to have a preliminary draft document ready to present at the Jan. 23 planning commission meeting. Commissioners also set priorities for other code amendments in 2014, including changing the way signage area is calculated, taking another look at illumination levels for electronic message displays and setting up a neighbor notification process for certain kinds of property grading projects.

“We’re looking at whether it’s worth delaying the trial to appeal,” Maketa said. “As officials we are limited in our capacity to testify.” Maketa compared the appeal vs going ahead with the trial to a double-edged sword. “It’s common knowledge that I’m term-limited and will be out of office Jan. 2015,” he said. “If we are going to go to trial before that, I would be testifying in a personal capacity.” But once Maketa is out of office, he would be dropped from the lawsuit. “The sheriffs’ legal team has gotten more aggressive,” he said. “The team wants to get this before the court.” When the lawsuit was filed against Gov. John Hickenlooper and the state, Attorney General John Suthers wanted the issue resolved, Maketa said. “Now he continues to delay this.” Nonetheless, the legal team is still looking at February for a court trial.

Steen honored by CCI By Pat Hill

phill@ourcoloradonews.com Recognized for his work to thrust Teller County in the limelight, particularly on transportation issues, Norm Steen was named Freshman Commissioner of the Year by Colorado Counties, Inc. “It was a total shock,” Steen said. Unknown to Steen, his family was waiting in the wings. “I was on the podium receiving the award when my grandchildren walked up.” After close to a year in office, Steen is still somewhat on a pink cloud. “I just love what I do, love being out in the public,” he said. “I’ve done a lot of things in my life but this is probably the most rewarding.” As a candidate Steen talked about leading, governing and advocating. “Advocating is where we bring the voice of Teller County into a large region, into a state and national context,” he said. Granted, some of Steen’s projects, such as the 2040 Transportation Plan by the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments, are longterm. “You plan something today that won’t be productive for decades,” he said. “As public leaders, we need keep in mind that what we do today affects our children and our grandchildren.”

Steen’s mantra is to get involved. “I always encourage people to become more involved, know the issues, talk to your elected leaders, get involved in boards and let us be the voice of Teller County,” he said. Steen shares the county’s voice as a: • Representative on the state’s Transportation Advisory Committee • Member of the Central Front Range Transportation Planning Region • Member of the MPAC 64, a group of organizations that represent Colorado’s 64 counties: Action 22, Progressive 15 and Club 20. “MPAC is proposing the .7 percent sales tax to fund transportation,” he said. • Teller County representative on the National Association of Counties, where he serves on the transportation steering committee. For Steen, there are two parts to being a commissioner. “One is the technical part, but even bigger is the relationships,” he said. “How do you build trust with other decision makers on committees, boards and other elected officials? That trust is really important in being effective as an elected official, not only with the citizenry but also with your peers.” Steen received the award this month during the CCI Winter Convention in Colorado Springs.

opinions / yours and ours

Texture, color, sounds, memories from our past Christmas today carries texture and color from our childhood. It is always enhanced by our memories from the past. For seven years, beginning in 1978, the holiday season was represented for me by the warmth and the sounds, the comings and goings of a small-town hardware store. Starting the Friday after Thanksgiving, right after we got the hardwood floors mopped, the season began. Taylor Hardware (the Red Dog Hardware) signaled the start by asking the hired help (a couple or three high school kids including myself ) to attach a 2” x 4” frame that allowed us to elevate the front two counters into a three-tiered mega gift center -- where if you couldn’t find something to give Mom, or Uncle Bill or your pain-in-

the-butt brother — well then, they didn’t need a present. Then, after cleaning the front windows with a pail of sudsy water and a sisal brush as the help commonly did once a week anyway, it was time to build the holiday display in the four compartments behind the plate-glass windows in the front

entrance. One window was always filled with ideas for mom’s stuff: fancy silver trays, furniture, food processors, microwaves, decorative lamps, ladies watches, even an occasional elegant shooting iron. Another window for dad: fly rod and reels, ice augers, power tools, Case and Oldtimer knives, chain saws and maybe a Toro snow blower with a bow on it. One for the kids: solid Red Flyer wagons, steel Tonka trucks with authentic rubber wheels, real china-faced dolls, porcelain figurines and BB guns. The final window could contain most anything, depending almost entirely on mood and inclination of the owner or his son or daughter-in-law. Ashely woodstoves, power splitting mauls, decorative

glass dishes, it was hard to guess. One year, I remember a western working horse theme including a packsaddle, tack, bridles, lariat rope and other cowboy necessities. But Dolores was the kind of place then that a rancher could come running in the store after an expensive item in emergency, grab and go, with instructions to “put it on a ticket and I’ll pay later.” Though such shoddy accounting practices would never have been tolerated at the hardware store, one local story relates the hurried purchase of a new saddle at another local business. The owner of a saddle shop forgot which outfit the “in-aCarrigan continues on Page 5

Remembering loved ones this Christmas season The Christmas season for me is a time of joy and celebration, reflection and remembrance. It is also a time when, in mid November, my son and I unpack the decorations from storage and then staple, tie and nail them to the house and yard. Very few people in the Pikes Peak region have their homes lit up before us. Most of all, Christmas for me is a time when I celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. After all, that is the very definition of Christmas. Along with singing songs and drinking eggnog and eating all sorts of high-calorie treats, I am often reminded of my family members and loved ones who are no longer here to share in this time of year. My sister, Sherry, and dad, Jack, are the two who come to mind most often. I lost them both in 2010. My sister was just 45 when she passed away from complications associated with a bad heart. My dad, at age 72, died on her birthday, Oct. 11, just seven months later. That year was by far the hardest of my life. And I have had many tough years. I flew to southern California and performed the memorial ceremony for my sister. We had a small gathering of family and friends at Newport Beach, where she loved to often go in her youth to lie in the sun and flirt with boys.

Pikes Peak Courier View

My sister was much more of a beach person than me. She would head to the coast in her little red Volkswagen with friends and spend the day doing whatever it is girls do in the fun and sun of southern California. I was more of a stay-around home kind of guy in those days. I played a lot of pickup basketball, worked on my quarterbacking abilities and refined my pitching technique. Sherry eventually married a roommate of mine from college and moved to Long Beach. As a young working mother she didn’t have as much time to hang out at the water, but she still delighted in making her way to the sand from time to time. Over the course of the next 25 years life sort of took over. She and her family moved to Georgia, her kids grew up and she got divorced. She eventually moved back to southern California where she

and my mother, Ruth, spent a lot of time together. The beach was again a place of refuge for her. Living in Colorado since 2001, I didn’t get a chance to see Sherry all that often. I regret that, of course, now that she is gone. I wish that I could hold her in my arms one more time and tell her how much I love her and how honored I am that she is my sister. My dad and mom divorced in the late 1970s. I was in junior high at the time. It was a tough period in my life. Not many folks divorced in those days. I lived with my mom pretty much full time and saw my dad on occasion. That was pretty much the norm for divorced families 35 years ago. As I got older I drew closer to my dad. We went to a lot of California Angels baseball games (with my sister) and enjoyed watching NFL games on television. He was a hard working man. He also lived hard. The combination of both of those took a toll on his body and mind. He was an old 72 when he died of respiratory problems. As I had done seven months earlier, I boarded a plane with my son and flew 1,000 miles to lead his memorial service. It was held at the Nevada Veterans Cemetery in Boulder City. My dad battled the effects of Alzheim-

er’s the last seven years of his life. I am so thankful that his wife, Karyl, was there to care for him. Alzheimer’s is a terrible disease. It robs a person of their mind and ability to function normally. My dad suffered with the disease on a level I have never seen or wish upon anybody. It was actually a blessing for him when the Lord finally brought him home. I know that he and my sister are rejoicing in heaven right now. They are in a much happier place than they ever were here on earth. Someday I will get to be with them again. My mom, as you may have gathered, is 1,000 miles away from me in southern California. Now 70, she is still very active and loves caring for her two little dogs Coco and Belle. I don’t get to see my mom very often, but we talk several times a week. It’s more on a daily basis this time of year. Obviously, there is much more to my story than what I have shared here. But my story is not unlike what many of you have experienced. Part of life is death. To experience life is to take the good with the bad. Thanks for letting me share a few of my thoughts. Merry Christmas.

Pike was considered a spy I was reminded recently that up here in Colorado we see old Zeb as an explorer. Down in New Mexico they call him a spy. In 1806, when he followed the Arkansas River west, only one of the things he did was locate this big white mountain, and the row of others that are still further west. He recorded visits with various Indian tribes, most of which were friendly. Buffalo were among the new animals he recorded and saw the Indians hunt them. He also was a victim of some of the more violent tribes. His trip across the plains was already an education, but it was far from over. It was also a challenge, because he did not bring good enough clothing, or enough food. His group worked south from the Pikes Peak region, back to the Arkansas river. The Royal Gorge was his next surprise. A stiff hike around the steep canyon was met with more pleasurable country. He followed the river north as far as the headwaters, now the south slope of Tennessee pass, near Leadville. Returning south he crossed over what is now Poncha pass, into the San Luis valley. Once he was south of the Arkansas he was in Mexico. It would be 40 years until the war with Mexico brought this area and Texas into the United States. The Mexican government was already aware of the people straying into the open country south of the Arkansas. They had regular patrols, largely from Santa Fe, long capitol of the area. Such a patrol found Pike and his men wandering down from the headwaters of the Rio Grande river, at the south end of the San Luis valley. They were taken to Santa Fe, then down into

Mexico, even Mexico City. Pike was taken into custody, but he was allowed to keep his rifles. This was fortunate, since he had hidden some of his papers rolled up in the barrel! The Mexicans confiscated his maps and ledgers, defining where they had been, but did not get everything. His rifles were useless without powder and balls, so they became storage for his most valuable papers. In fact, his original papers are in the archives of Spain at Madrid. He and his men were questioned about their spy mission, eventually deciding he had not learned that much, decided to release them. After a couple years he and his men were taken through Texas, to the United States. The group then went to Washington, D.C., where they reconstructed the ledgers and notes. The story of the big mountain inspired others to go into the west. Other explorers soon followed, including Stephen Long, who visited the front range, finding Pikes Peak, and spotting another to the north, Long’s Peak. Several in his party, including Dr. Edwin James climbed Pike’s mountain. Long named it James Peak, but most in the east still called it Pikes Peak.

Jettisoned into the cool gift givers category Looking for a last minute Christmas gift with a “Wow” factor that jettisons you into the “cool-gift-giver” category? Here’s a tip that allows you to give the gift of health with a ticket to a winter paradise. I’m talking about snowshoes. And it’s the appropriate gift for just about anyone. Snowshoeing offers an easy means of reestablishing your connection with nature through the magic of a leisurely walk through an enchanted forest draped with a fresh mantel of snow. The sport is very doable … if you can walk, you can snowshoe … it’s relatively inexpensive and it’s great exercise. Snowshoes have been around for more than 6,000 years and are one of the earliest forms of transportation. This simple, yet effective, piece of equipment can open up a winter wonderland that is otherwise inaccessible. Over the centuries there has been a wide variety of sizes and styles of snowshoes designed for various types of snow conditions and topography. For the vast

majority of the time, snowshoes were used mainly for utility and survival and were designed primarily for their weight carrying capacity resulting in shoes that tended to be large and cumbersome. Today’s snowshoes and bindings, however, are much easier to use than the snowshoes of yesteryear. Modern materials and designs have cut down on the weight of the shoe and provide maximum traction and control. And the activity is about as simplistic as a winter sport can be. However, with the evolution of the industry, choosing the appropriate snowshoes has become more

complex. Snowshoes are now available in a multitude of shapes, sizes and colors. There are wood, aluminum and synthetic frames, various decking materials and a variety of binding designs, even the crampons for traction on the bottom of the snowshoes vary considerably in shape, size and configuration. If you find selecting the right pair of snowshoes difficult, start by deciding the type of snowshoeing you want to do. The sport can be broken down into three basic types of activities – recreational, mountaineering and aerobic (jogging). The level of snowshoe performance is dependent upon design features and the amount of control a person has over the equipment. A well-designed snowshoe should feel like an extension of your body, rather than an extra appendage. The important components to look at in choosing snowshoes are its bindings, frame geometry, traction, hinge design and size. REI offers some good tips on

selecting the right snowshoes on their website http://www.rei.com/learn/expertadvice/snowshoes.html. How do you know which snowshoes are best for you? Start by borrowing or renting several different types and try them out. Then ask yourself some questions. Are they easy to use? Are the binding simple and secure? Are they maneuverable and functional for your type of snowshoeing? And, are they comfortable? Check with the local Mountaineering stores for the clinics they’ll be offering this winter. Expect to pay between $150 to $250 for a decent pair of hi-tech snowshoes, which seems like a small price to pay for a ticket to paradise.

letters to the editor Dear Editor: Wow! Saturday night we experienced one of the many events that make living in small-town Woodland Park such a treat! First, the Lighter Side of Christmas Parade kicked off with lighted floats and singers, lighted dancers, lighted horses, and even a lighted trash truck! Just as Santa made his way onto the parade route on the giant fire truck, the fireworks started — it was a spectacular display that provided the perfect ending to a fantastic parade! The parade led us all to the Ute Pass Cultural Center for gallons of hot chocolate, cookies, darling third-grade singers, the lighting of the giant Christmas tree by Mayor Dave Turley, and even a crazy Christmas hat contest! It was so precious it was tear-producing. Who does all of this? Well, no one in most towns and cities. In Woodland Park,

it took a large cast of dedicated people to make it happen for all who attended in the bitter cold: Tracie Bennitt and her tireless volunteers for the parade and who knows what else, the city of Woodland Park for fireworks and cultural center events, and our fine local businesses who funded the bum fires and stayed open with cider and hot chocolate and a warm place to view the parade. Here’s a great shout-out of thanks to everyone who made this and all the other public events in Woodland Park possible for us residents and visitors! Sincerely, Tamara Buttery Michael Harper Real Estate Dear Editor: Hopefully this letter will make the residents of Teller County aware of the Pikes Peak Ranger District’s proposal to

‘Breakfast with Santa’ a hit Two Saturdays ago at the Ute Pass Cultural Center, our Kiwanis Club hosted “Breakfast with Santa.” More than 1,300 people were fed a free pancake and sausage breakfast, little ones got to sit on Mrs. Claus’ lap, and more than 450 children from all over Teller County got to talk to Santa and receive a toy for Christmas. The annual event is considered a highlight of the season and it would not be possible without the help of our Cripple Creek/Victor Key Club.These kids worked hard for the success of the event and were outstanding representatives of our school and our community. I am proud of our Key Club and our record 27 members this year. The next event will be “Crabby Tax Night,” at the Shining Mountain Golf Course in April.

hurry” cowboy worked for so he billed it to each of the nine biggest stock concerns in the area thinking that surely the responsible one would settle the bill. That turned out to be an error. Six of the outfits ended up sending a check in for the entire saddle amount with no questions asked. Don Setser seemed to be the only one Merton Taylor, the owner, was comfortable with enough to hang the outdoor lights. Many years ago, as part of the high school student help, Don had won the local lighting contest in the business category and ever since, he was “forced” to roll back into town every year to string up an increasingly complicated and elaborate display.

once again do “thinning” in the forest surrounding Indian Creek and adjoining areas. We are out-of-state property owners from that area and received correspondence from the USDA and Forest Service concerning this proposal, yet none of our neighbors in the Teller County area received any information regarding this proposed action. The previous “thinning” in the areas we have seen have left a much different site than what is proposed by the Forest Service. We have observed many areas that were once tall beautiful trees clear-cut yet leaving behind large piles of slash some 30 feet in diameter and 20 feet high. This is much more hazardous in a fire situation than the gorgeous trees that were taken by the “commercial” logging companies. The proposal is to once again use commercial logging to “thin” the National Forest. The HyBrook proposal in itself seems quite

advantageous, but according to our neighbors in the areas previously “mitigated” by a similar proposal, has left the forest much less safe from fire and tragically the natural beauty of the area devastated. Any correspondence to at least let your thoughts be heard must be received by the Forest Service by Dec. 17. It is my understanding that no final decision has been made, so your input is vital. To send correspondence, address the Pikes Peak Ranger District; 601 S. Weber St., Colorado Springs, CO 80903. Send it to the attention of Mr. Jim Fiorelli and reference the HyBrook Proposal. His email address is jfiorelli@fs.fed.us. Fiorelli was courteous when I spoke with him and welcomes your input. Sincerely, Sherry Grbic Property owner Indian Creek

coffee at the back corner pot – along with busted pipes and broken chain saw files – this was ‘hammer time’ at the hardware. Finally, on Christmas Eve, usually shortly after noon, came time for the deliveries. Owners Merton and his wife Cecil, had selected and wrapped presents all morning, and we loaded them in the beat-up 1965 International Scout, along with a couple of the Irish Setters of the ‘red dog store’ namesake, and began a distribution that would have made Santa proud. Ironically, or perhaps symbolically, the store and nearly the whole city block, caught fire and burned to ground on the day after Christmas in 1984. With a changing retail landscape, aging owners and shifting loyalties, it was never rebuilt. Those memories are not better or worse than many Christmas holidays that followed but certainly provide me a foundation of texture and color, sounds and warmth, the comings and goings of a small-town hardware store, and yes, a feeling of Christmas, that I can never forget.

The key to getting the police to come to your house Here is a pre-holiday story about a door, a broken key and the police. This happened sometime around 2007. It happened one Christmas, or rather two days before Christmas when we lived in Iowa. Coincidentally, my husband was on a trip in Colorado. I was just returning home from a family Christmas party. My door lock was stuck, with all my might I turned it. Then I had my dad try it. He cranked the key back and forth. All to no avail. Then it happened. The key snapped in half. “Oh no, now what?” I said picturing a night on my parent’s sofa. Not that that was a bad thing, but I would much rather enjoy the comforts of my own home. “Well,” my dad said, “You can stay the night with us.” I decided to go home with my parents. I opted to call a locksmith. I figured $50 was worth a good night’s sleep.

I decided to leave my boys, Max and Danny, who were just little guys at the time, with their grandparents. My dad took me home to meet up with the locksmith. We waited in my dad’s running truck for the locksmith to pull into the driveway. He arrived seconds later and immediately went to work. Before long we could get into the house. The locksmith was right in the middle of telling me that there was nothing wrong

with the lock and how easy it was to get in (what a relief for me!) when a police officer came to the door. I opened it and said hello to the imposing man in the blue uniform. “You live here?” he asked, in a stern tone. “Uh, yes,” I said, gulping. “Well we just got a report of a burglary in progress.” I’m sure my mouth dropped open. “This has happened to me before,” said the locksmith, shaking his head. “No, no, officer,” I said, “my key broke, see?” I showed him the small gold key that was split in two. “You got some ID?” the cop asked. “Yes,” I said, hands shaking. I brandished my driver’s license. The officer glanced at and looked satisfied, yet he did another run on the address. The officer then explained that our neighbor across the street reported the “crime” and that she said the locksmith’s son, who was supposed patiently waiting in his truck wearing a jolly Santa hat, was a lookout. “Isn’t he in the truck?” the locksmith was incredulous. “No, but the dog is,” said the cop — the locksmith said he usually brought his puppy and his son with him. “Well you are lucky you have neighbors that watch out for you,” said the locksmith, the officer shook his head in agreement.

dog and “lookout” with him. The officer stayed and looked at my dad. “You Corey?” he asked. “No, I’m Ernie,” my dad answered in his customary gruffness. “He’s my dad,” I said. I wasn’t sure if the officer looked totally convinced. But he went back and got in his car nonetheless, I looked out of the window and noticed at least three other police cars there. “Back up!” I yelled to my dad. “They called back up!” He laughed and stayed for a bit. But after awhile, when the officers still wouldn’t leave, we wondered what they could possibly be waiting for. “I think they are waiting for you to leave,” I said to my dad. “Maybe.” He shrugged. Turns out we were right because as soon as dad left the driveway, the police left too. I guess they were making sure my dad wasn’t holding me hostage or something. Maybe they had itchy trigger fingers and were just waiting for something to go down. Or maybe they were just having a chat about doughnuts ... Stephanie Ogren is married and has two children.

Panthers experience growing pains Woodland Park boys’ basketball team still searching for first victory By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ourcoloradonews.com The Woodland Park boys’ basketball team may still have a goose egg in the win column, but the Panthers appear to be turning things around. “We’re finally able to make some adjustments at practice,” Woodland Park coach Joel Herman said. “Now that we’ve been able to put a couple of practices between games we’re seeing the results.” Woodland Park played five games in six days to begin the season. It lost those the first four by an average of 42 points. But the Panthers have had much better success recently, losing their last three by a total of 26 - an average of about nine per game. “The competition early on was pretty stellar,” Herman said. “It makes such a big difference to have multiple practices. We’ve been able to fine tune and we’re getting on the same page.” Woodland Park’s last three losses are against Dolores Huerta Prep (60-55), The Classical Academy (62-50) and Pueblo Centennial (51-42). “I think the kids are finally starting to buy into what we’re doing,” Herman said. Five players are providing the bulk of the Panthers’ offense. Sophomore guard

Dominic Cuncio leads the way with 8.6 points per game. He is followed by closely by junior forward Sam Hopfe (8.4), senior forward Randy Westfall (6.4), sophomore guard Trey Byers (6.1) and senior guard Keegan Harman (5.7). Cunico had a career-high 25 points against Dolores Huerta Prep. But he followed that with games of just one and five points against TCA and Pueblo Centennial, respectively. Hopfe scored a career-high 17 against TCA and followed that with a 15-point effort against Pueblo Centennial. Westfall has hit double figures in points three times this season. He also leads the team in rebounding with 6.7 per game. While the Panthers have shored up their defense, their offensive shooting percentage still needs improvement. They are shooting just 25 percent as a team (94 of 374). The numbers are not much better inside the paint (28 percent, 62 of 207). “We’re getting great shots, but we’re just not finishing the shots,” Herman said. This is finals week for the Panthers as they head into the Christmas break. They play at Discovery Canyon on Friday. Woodland Park comes back from the break with home games against Vanguard Charter (Jan. 4) and Calhan (Jan. 11). As rough as the start to the season has been for the Panthers, they will get a fresh slate when Class 4A Metro League action starts Jan. 14 against Sierra. “I’m proud of the boys,” Herman said. “We’re on a good track right now. I’m positive. I’m optimistic.”

Woodland Park girls basketball team improves Panthers players, coaches believe more wins will come with time By Danny Summers

Dsummers@ ourcoloradonews.com The first thing that catches your eye when you look at the Woodland Park High School girls’ basketball team is its athleticism. The players move up and the court gracefully and with ease. Their basketball skills are nothing to sneeze at, either. “This is the most athletic team I’ve had,” said long-time Panthers coach David Graf. “I feel good about where we are. I think our transition game is working well and I feel that overall we’re doing some good things. “We’re trying to push the pace and the girls are accepting of it and confident with it.” So far, at least, the Panthers have found victories tough to come by, wining just two of their first seven contests. But everyone in green and white is confident things will turn around. “We’re able to run more sustain more than past teams,” said Woodland Park senior Alexa Garrick. “We’re able to get the ball and go

kind of a team. “Once we become more of a rebounding team I think we’ll be really solid. Our offense has been pretty good and once we get it all tied together we’ll be pretty good.” The Panthers won two of four games last week, defeating Colorado Academy, 46-34, on Dec. 9 and drubbing Pueblo Centennial, 56-34, on Dec. 13. Sandwiched in between were losses to The Classical Academy, 39-30, and Vista Ridge, 52-36. The Panthers have increased their offensive output dramatically over previous seasons, averaging almost 40 points per game. Junior Lexie Comer leads the club with 8.2 points per game, while fellow juniors Katie Stunkard (7.3) and Jeannette Worscheck (7.3) trail right behind. “We’ve changed a lot this year and I think we’re coming together and figuring out little important parts,” Comer said. “So many of us have played together for so long and there’s an aspect of each other that we understand.” Against a very good Classical Academy team on Dec. 10, the Panthers trailed 33-23 early in the fourth quarter. But Woodland Park went on a 6-0 run to pull within four and looked like it had the momentum in its favor. “We pushed the pace more and

made the easy baskets,” Stunkard said. Down the stretch the Panthers were missing those easier shots, however. “We need to practice those easy shots and have more confidence in our own shot,” Stunkard said. Graf held a similar assessment. “Our energy and tempo was really low to start the game (against TCA),” Graf said. “We picked it up and in the second quarter and had the lead for a little bit there. But I think we got tired. “But I credit Classical Academy for doing a good job. They picked up their pace defensively and in the half-court we couldn’t execute well. They took away our transition game that we’re trying to be good at this year.” The Panthers are allowing about 45 points per game; far more than Graf would like to see. He would like to keep the opposition to fewer than 40. “I’m proud of the defensive effort we put out there (against TCA),” Graf said. “We’ve been having a hard time in our half-court defense this year. And we did a good job tonight.” The Panthers should see a boost in their scoring when junior transfer Katelyn Kemp is eligible. She is forced to sit the first 11 games of the season due to the Colorado

Woodland Park junior Katie Stunkard leads the team in scoring with eight points per game. She had a career-high 14 in the Panthers’ loss to Vanguard on Dec. 7.

FOR THE WEEK OF DEC 18, 2013

GALLERY OF GAMES

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Careful, Lamb. Don’t let your generous nature lead to some serious overspending as you contemplate your holiday gift-giving. Your social life kicks off into high gear by week’s end. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A positive attitude helps you weather annoying but unavoidable changes in holiday plans. Aspects favor new friendships and reinforcement of existing relationships.

& weekly horoscope

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Demands on your energy level could be much higher than usual as you prepare for the upcoming holidays. Be sure to pace yourself. Friends and family will be happy to help. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Don’t allow a suddenly icy reaction from a friend or family member to continue without learning what caused it -- and what can be done to restore that once warm and caring relationship.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) A relationship seems to be unraveling, mostly from a lack of attention. It might be a good idea to ease up on whatever else you’re doing so you can spend more time working to mend it. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) New facts emerge that not only help explain the recent rift with a trusted colleague, but also might provide a chance to wipe the slate clean and make a fresh start in your friendship. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A family member’s personal situation is, fortunately, resolved in time for you to get back into your hectic round of holiday preparations. An old friend might bring a new friend into your life. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Pace yourself in meeting holiday pressures and workplace demands to avoid winding up with a frayed temper and a Scorpian stinger that lashes out at puzzled kith, kin and colleagues. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A financial matter requires close attention. Also, news from a trusted source provides the means to help sort out a longstanding state of confusion and put it into perspective. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) This is a good time to reinforce family ties. Make it a priority to assess and resolve all outstanding problems. Start the upcoming holiday season with a full measure of love. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Don’t be pressured into a so-called solid-gold investment. Wait until the holiday distractions are over. Then take a harder look at it. You might find that the “gold” is starting to flake off. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A former friend might be trying to heal the breach between you by using a mutual friend as an intermediary. Best advice: Keep an open mind despite any lingering bad feelings.

God’s Message brings Hope, Joy, Love, and Life! Soon, because of the Christmas season, ministers everywhere will proclaim “there was no room for Him in the Inn.” Have you ever wondered why so many do not believe in Jesus, God’s only Son? When the religious leaders and people of Jesus’ day “received Him not,” he spoke of the true reason for disbelief in Him, “you have no room for my word in your heart…you belong to your father the devil” (Jn 8:37, 44). Unless you truly desire to seek the truth that comes from above, you will never have room for Him in the “Inn” of your heart. If you seek, He promises you will find.

Reception Continued from Page 1

“We’re in the life-changing business,” Wommack said. “Students come in and their life is changed and they go and change the lives of others.” From September through May, the ministry educates 636 students. “Most of them are not from Colorado; 95 percent are from other parts of the United States,” Wommack said. “They left their jobs, their homes and their families to come to Charis Bible College.” The median age of the students is 44 but the largest age bracket is 20 to 29. “A couple of years ago we graduated a student who was 89,” he said. Tuition is $4,000 a year, which includes books and fees and students can earn associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees within two years, with an option for a third year. Students who graduate after two years are required to go on a foreign mission trip. Wommack introduced the college’s business instructor, Paul Milligan, who highlighted the statistics that are bound to energize the Woodland Park\Teller County economy: • 35 percent of employees are expected to reside in Woodland Park while another 10 percent will reside somewhere in Teller County • 77 percent of the students are expected to reside within Woodland Park and its environs • 300 students are expected to reside in multi-family units on campus when they are built • 37 percent of students will work full-time while attending classes and 26 percent will work part-time • 212 new jobs will be created in 2014 as a result of the ministries’ expanded employment opportunities. “In 2022 it will be 440 employees,” Wommack said. . • Salaries of all employees average about $4 million a year • Salaries for employees hired as a result of the bible college’s presence in Woodland Park, over an 11-year total, are estimated to be $71 million • Revenue from sales and use taxes, over 11 years, is estimated at $1 million while in Teller Count the revenue is pegged at $400,000 • Property tax revenue, for an 11-year total, is $653,000 in the city and $591,000 in Teller County. When revenue for the taxing districts is included, the total will be $2.2 million over an 11-year period. According to Betty Clark-Wine, the county’s assessor, the organization will not file property taxes until the multi-family units are built; taxes are levied on the improvements to the land, she said. A tax-exempt religious organization, the ministry files 990 tax forms for nonprofits. Clark-Wine cautions against focusing on the real estate aspect of the ministries. “This is my personal opinion but there’s the multiplier effect. Focus on the people because they have to buy, spend, eat; these people are bringing their money from elsewhere and putting it into the community,” she said. “The value is in the people being generated, not so much in the real estate.” Along with the statistics, Mulligan talked about the economic diversity that accompanies The Sanctuary. “Religious organizations as an industry tend to be resistant to recessions,” he said. “Andrew Wommack Ministries, during the last recession, increased its revenue every year of the recession. Last year, it was a 25 percent increase.” Following economic trends, The Sanctuary is expected to host a number of annual conferences and events that will attract more than 2,250 visitors. “Even when we’re not having events there will be a pretty big impact on restaurants and motels,” Milligan said. “I think the college will have a significant impact on the local economy. We will encourage our students to support local businesses.” In addition to supporting businesses, students are required to contribute 25 hours of community volunteer work for the three terms in the school year. The ministry expansion is in two phases, the first, the 70,000 square-foot Barn, where the reception was held, a $32 million project paid in cash. Phase II is the auditorium where the tour concluded; the project to be completed when the money is raised.

In an annual tradition, Steen, Paul and Marc Dettenrieder approved the county budget of $26,854,722 for 2014. “Public trust, through the budget process, is one of the most sacred trusts the public grants us,” Steen said. “I just want to thank the staff; I’m glad the staff takes this so seriously. I do appreciate the public comment (over the past several months) and others who have contributed to developing this budget.”
